No Ski Flying yet for the women next winter

After the large hills, the female ski jumpers will also conquer the flying hills, that's for sure, the only question is: when? According to a proposal of the Norwegian Ski Association, the women should have competed on the Ski Flying hill in Vikersund (NOR), where distances of up to 250 are possible, already in the upcoming winter. But this proposal of the Norwegians was not approved by the FIS Ski Jumping sub-committee.

In 2020 it was decided that the female ski jumpers shall get closer to Ski Flying step by step, so there will be a women's Ski Flying World Cup in the future. The next step will be the women's World Cup on the HS 147 hill in Willingen in the 2021/22 winter season.
The Muehlenkopf-hill in Willingen is considered a small flying hill, the perfect introduction to Ski Flying hills. The hill in Willingen is the largest in the women's World Cup so far. The experts want to have these competitions first and then make a decision concerning Ski Flying events next winter.

At the FIS sub-committee meeting, the Norwegian Ski Association submitted a proposal that includes these criteria, but with the possible first Ski Flying event in Vikersund already just a few weeks later in the 2021/22 season.
After a long and emotional debate, the committee voted 9 -7 against the proposal of the Norwegians. Especially the arguments safety and calendar planning led to the close vote against Ski Flying events for the women already this upcoming winter.
